Beyond Slideshows (Elluminate)
Presenting online - versus presenting in-person – brings own set of challenges and opportunities. Sure you don’t have to fret about what you’re wearing or if you’re going to trip while on stage, but you do have to think about how to engage and interact with your audience – all while you cannot see them! Join Webinar expert and author of the new book, The Virtual Presenter’s Handbook, Roger Courville, to jump start your success when planning, designing, and delivering online presentations.
